At my recent stay in the hospital they told me I should provide my own antibacterial liquidsoap for handwashing and showering, it cuts back on infections. I complied.
How did this make you feel? Did you have a concern that if they weren't able to supply basics such as soap for patients, that perhaps they might not have enough suture for sewing up a surgery, or that they might ask you to go to a cement dealer and ask them to back a mixing truck up to the hospital loading dock because they don't have enough plaster for a cast on a broken limb?
Also, when such things are left up to the patients, standards tend to disappear. One person may regard, as an example, a ancient Chinese herb as an 'antibacterial' when science cannot support such an assertion.
Did this give you greater or lesser confidence in the quality of care that you were receiving?
Septi Soft we have used it for many years in our home.
I'm all for the antibacterial soap, but why can't the hospital provide it? How does bringing the same product yourself benefit you and not just the hospital?
